Shaker Card Congratulations

Retirement? - Graduation? - Promotion? - Wedding?

How about giving a Shaker Card?

It doesn't really matter the occasion or the age 

- everyone loves a card that does something.

The concept of a shaker card is simple, 

you need to create a closed container for little pieces.

The little pieces here are some star and heart sequins. (soon to be retiring).

The lid of the container is the front of the card

For this card I first stamped my sentiment . . . from the Bravo Stamp Set

Then I punched a 1-3/4" circle.

And on the BACK side adhered a 2-1/4" square of Acetate Window Sheet.

Now for the container itself. You'll need a thin strip of dimensional foam.

Stampin'UP! currently carries the perfect product, 

a set of concentric foam rings made for Shaker Cards.

I used the largest of the Shaker Frames

which I stuck on a 2-1/4" piece of white paper

Filled with some sequins

and carefully positioned the hole over the foam

i.e. I put the lid on the container.

The final steps are to finish the front of the card.

I cut banners by hand from thin strips of card stock in colors to match the sequins

I created the scallop frame by first punching the 1-3/4" hole 

and then centering the hole in the Scallop Circle Punch.

Voila! This is a super fun card to give and an easy card to make.

So I mentioned that the sequins are retiring

so are the Shaker Frames.

Check out the complete list of retiring product here.

Stamps are guaranteed to be available through May 26th.

Everything else is available only while supplies last

In my experience I suggest checking the list sooner rather than later

and if there's something there you want, I'd get it now before its gone

and the good news is - more than half the stuff is also on sale

anywhere from 15% up to 50%
